The Power of 

Pictures 



One picture is worth ten thousand words. From the 
earliest times man has employed the power of pictures 
to express his thoughts simply and directly. The pictorial 
instinct of mankind is one of the strongest and most uni- 
versally persistent. Pictures speak in all languages, and 
in many instances, they can be made to carry a story, 
which it is impossible to convey by words. People see 
and understand pictures, long before they can read or 
write.

SECOND EDITION 

CITIZENS OF SAN ANTONIO 



Higliei- Publicity is the real yeast in the 
bi'ead of iinpioveiiu'iit and a never failing- 
factor for gooil results. Joining this niove- 
nient is like throwing away the canoe 
paddles and getting aboard a steamboat. 

It has been said that "One single idea 
may have greater weight than the labor 
of all the men, animals and engines for a 
century," and the idea of the Higher 
Publicity League of Texas belongs to that 
class. 

The "Greater San Antonio" book of 
facts and figures with four thousand dol- 
lars worth of copper plates picturizing 
San Antonio, has been compiled and is 
now ready for distribution by subscril)- 
ers, to be placed on the reading tables of 
all Commercial Clubs and Civic Bodies 
throughout the United States and Canada. 
Get Radio-active — become a "LIVE 
WIRE" and send a few of these HIGHER 
PUBLICITY BOOKS to your "SNOW- 
DIGGER" friends up north, with a per- 
sonal invitation to visit San Antonio for 
rest, recreation, Inisiness, pleasure or in- 
vestment. Let's make the circulation 
Nation-wide and watch San Antonio 
G-R-O-W. OBEY THAT IMPITLSE NOW, 
RIGHT NOW— WRITE NOW. 

Yours for results,

BXnLD UP THE HOME TOWN 

If you want to live in the kind of a Town — 
Like the kind of a Town you like. 

You needn 't slip your clothes in a grip 
And start on a long, long hike. 

You '11 only find what you left behind, 

For there's nothing that '.s really new; 

It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town- 
It isn't your Town — it's j'oul 

Real Towns are not made by Men afraid — 

Lest somebody else gets ahead. 
When everyone works and nobody shirks 

You can raise a Town from the dead. 
.\rul if while you make your personal stake. 

Your neighbor can make one, too, 
Your town will bo what you v.ant to see — 

It isn't your Town— it's YOU!

The purpose of this book is to present to the gen- facts about San Antonio and its environments so 
eral public, the tourist and investors of foreign as to make same easy of assimilation among all

the many attractions and opportunities offered by tions who are looking toward San Antonio as a

OF YOUR DESTINA- 
TION." To let the coun- 
try know that San An- 
tonio is a modern, yet 
picturesquely interesting, 
historically enthralling — 
yet up - to - date city. 
To let the tourist 
know that every luxury 
known to the dweller of 
the Nation's greatest cit 
ies may be found here, 
while the visitor enjoys 
what other cities cannot 
give: Latin - American 
settings in distinctly for- 
eign quarters, the Ala- 
mo and the Missions, 
beautiful in their ruins, 
telling of the days of

ciency with a minimum 
of space and verbiage 
has been made possible 
by combining the judi- 
cious use of the cam- 
era and the pen. Suffice 
it to say, San Antonio 
offers the last chance of 
the century to get in on 
the ground floor of the 
development of one of 
America's great popu- 
lation centers. Here na- 
ture has done more than 
her share to make rapid 
development and ideal 
homesites possible. The 
process of building a 
great metropolis has 
been set in motion in 
San Antonio and it is 
no wonder that men 
with foresight, enthu- 
siasm, capital, ener- 



wildemess to bring civilization to the savage race, gy and skill have planned greater San Antonio 
The object of the compiler has been to place and are working their plan. "THE STRENGTH OF 
into concrete form all available information and ALL FOR THE HELP OF EACH," is their slogan. 



^ THOUGHTLETS r 



Don't put your name down and your money up, 
and then let go. 
Catch hold firmly and pull with the rest. 
Get under and lift; don't be a leaner. 
Don't be a kicker or a knocker. 
Don't be a drone or a figurehead. 
Give your home stores a chance. 
Be a real, red-hot enthusiast. 
Help your own town first. 



-WILMOT 



Somebody said that it couldn't be done, 
But he. with a chuckle, repUed: 
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one 
Who wouldn't say so till he tried. 

So he buckled right in, with the trace of a grin 
On his face. If he worried, he hid it. 
He started to sing as he tackled the thing 
That couldn't be done — and he did it.

THE BOOSTER'S 

ROOST 





KNOCKER vs. BOOSTER 

Some one has said that when the Ci-eator had made all the jiood thin^.s, there still remained some 
work to do, so Ho made beasts and reptiles and poisonons in.siads, and when He had finished there were 
some seraps left, so He put all these together, coveied them with suspicion, wrapped them with jeal- 
ousy, marked thcni with a j'ellow streak and called the result a ''Knocker." 

'i'his product was so fearful to contemplate that He had to make something- to counteract it, so 
He took a sunbeam, put it in the heart of a child, the brain of a nmn, wrapped these in civic pride, 
covered them with brotherlv love, fjave them a mask ol' velvet and a urasp of steel, and called the result 
a "Booster;" A BELIKVER IX EQUALITY AND .JUSTICE. Ever since thes.' two were made, mor- 
tal man has had the privilege of choosing- his own associates.

RESIDENTIAL SAN ANTONIO 

Surely San Antonio is awakening and is beginning to see some little distance into the future so filled with bright 
prospects that even the dreamers cannot overrate the possibilities. Here ancient land marks are rapidly giving way to 
structures like those herein illusti'ated. 

To those who have failed to watcli the progress and development of the great resources of Texas in the last fifteen or 
twenty years can form but little coiicciilion of the immense possibilities there are for the creation of a gieat Metropolis at 
San Antonio. 

it has llie necessary elements wliieh go to make it the great center of finance, manufacture and commerce of South Texas. 

There is no element of boom in real estate. Values seem to be certain and permanent, whether it be in the heart of the 
city, o?' on its residence section. 

"When one contemplates the wonderful productiveness of the soil in the great territory surrounding and adjacent to 
San Antonio, one cannot help being convinced that values will, before the end of the present decade, increase with leaps and 
bounds.

FARM FACTS. 

The wonderful potentiality of the South Texas soil and climate is known and proven. Scientific farmers have discovered 
it. Here lies one of the largest pockets of fertile soil in the known agricultural world. It is the concentrated essence of 
fertility. The accumulated humus of centuries. It contains all the elements of plant food in the right proportion and in, 
assimable condition for all plants to easily derive their food during the period of growth. Everything considered, there is 
no part of the United States to be compared to the fertile regions of the San Antonio territory and everything points to 
this district as the coming center of agiicultural and horticultural activity. 

The following pictures will give an idea of the great variety of farm crops raised here by dry farming as well as by 
irrigation.

Opportunities for Good Investment in San Antonio 

"San Antonio in ptirtii-ular anil Southwest Texas in general offer most inviting opportunities for investment at this time," says the 
bulletin of the Keal Estate Board. "Our unique and fortunate position as a great agricultural center, as the Gateway to Mexico and as the 
winter playground of the Central North certainly places us in the front rank as a place to make a home and fortunate investments." 

"Farming opens up the most extensive field. With 20,000,000 acres of fine agricultural land undeveloped in this territory, there is no esti- 
mate to the rowth that can take place along these lines. South Texas, with its abundant sparkling waters, its rich grasses and cheap roughage, 
promises to become a premier dairying country. We have proven beyond a doubt that we can grow feed stuffs more abundantly and 
cheaply in this section than any other, furthermore we can feed live stock more cheaply as we have practically all year grazing and the 
advantage of saving large sums of money in providing shelter. Besides this, we have cotton, hogs, poultry and truck products, for which 
San Antonio offers the finest market." 

CLIMATE MAKES LAND VALUES 

The real, bed-rock reason for land values, measured from the standpoint of jiroductiveness. is climate, for climate is the one great fixed 
ind unchangeable factor in production. 

A good part of the farming of the world is not yet adapted to its climate; many branches of agriculture are being carried on in the 
wrong climate. To adapt itself to climate is the greatest problem of agriculture. The high cost of living will be reduced when this problem is 
solved. 

You can change and even make soil, but you cannot in any way alter climate. 

Whenever a man buys a patch of land, he gets a bunch of climate along with it — w'hether he wants it or not. 

If productiveness fixes land values, climate determines both the possibility and degree of production. 

On the lands in the Northern States, farmers, if they are lucky, make one crop a year. What is the trouble? THE CLIMATE. 

The climate that goes with the land of the Northern States is of the sort that limits production to a few months of the year, while the 
climate that goes with the land of the San Antonio territory is such as to make production possible every month of the year.

To the Man Who Can Look Ahead 

San Antonio Has Been Hiding Its Light Under a Bushel, but Men of Foresight, Enthusiasm, Capital, Energy and 
Skill Have Discovered Its Many Attractions and Have Set in Motion Here the Process of Build- 
ing a Metropolis and a City of Homes. 



History lepeats itself — San Antonio wil 
the West coast. 



be to Texas and the entiic Southwest uluit Los Angeles is to California and 



Not so many years ago Los Angeles was nothing hut a village of eleven thousand people— mostly Mexicans. Today she 
is the comiuereial metropolis as well as the playground of California, with a population of over six hundred thousand. 

You who can glimpse into the future, those of you who 
do not live in the pi'esent, cannot fail to see the hand- 
writing on the wall. 

The Srn Antonio to'iitoi-y is recruiting thousands of 
men annually who are making wondeiful developments, 
and a few years hence there will l)e plenty of men on 
the street of San Antonio to say: "A FEW YEARS 
AGO T COULD HAVE BOUGHT PROPERTY IN THE 
BEST SECTIONS OF THIS OLD TOWN FOR A FEW 
HUNDRED DOLLARS THAT WOULD HAVE MADE 
ME RICH." 

"He who lives witliin the sound of the cataiact is un- 
conscious of its roar." The native Texan is in this very 
fix, as he is in the midst of what seems commonplace to 
him and he fails to grasp the red I'ipe oppoilunity whieli 
the newcomer from the North so quickly sees after he 
investigates. 

Men who have been close students of affairs in Texas 
have always predicted that there was to be built, some- 
wheie in South Texas, a great city, but where was the 
question. No sooner had the great Resoi't Hotels of San 
Antonio become known and the Four Million Five Hun- 
dred Thousand Dollar bond issue for sti-eet improvements 
been sold than they said: "THIS IS THE PLACE." 

The agricultural Empire back of San Antonio is one of the reasons. The Panama Canal is another leason, while its 
wonderful climate, strategic location as the gateway to commercial Mexico and the fact that it has an unlimited supply 
of the finest artesian waters are still other reasons. 

San Antonio stands today as Los Angeles did a few yeai's ago. Men of sinall means could then get a foothold that 
has counted into the millions since, and the same opportunity is presented in San Antonio today. Investments in combi- 
nation Commercial Cities and all-year-round-resorts have always brought enormous profits, and these profits San Antonio 
pow invites all comers to share in.

The Process of Building a /Metropolis 
Has Been Set in /Aotion Here 

and it is no wonder that men of foresight, 
enthusiasm, capital, energy and skill are 
taking advantage of this red ripe opportunity 

R('menil)cr tiic ^reat Canal which divides a Hemisphere and unites a world means more than we can tell to the farm 
land and industrial propositions of the San Antonio district which is in close proximity to the Gulf Harbor of Fort Aran- 
sas and contiguous to the largest trade basin of the five great natural divisions of the United States now accessible to 
ocean ships. It marks the mightiest change in the world's material affairs since the diseoveiy of Anieiica. The South 
Texas coast will be close to all the markets of the world. What Commodore Maury jnedicted for the Gulf of .Mexico fifty 
years ago is about to come true. He declared ttiat the breaking down of the barriers lietween the Atlantic and Pacific 
woidd focus the world's commerce in the Gulf of Mexico. 



If we could conceive of the creation of a new world 
which overnight was joined to the earth, with a popula- 
tion ecjual to half that of the Globe — a new world with 
800,000,000 people ready to enter actively into the broad- 
est business development — the opportunities for people 
of this particular section to do business with the newly 
made world would not be greater than the opportunities 
which have been brought into existence by the opening 
of the Panama Canal and the development of the largest 
inland water system on the continent — the Tnter-coastal 
Canal having its longest coast line in Texas. 

San Antonio's share in these vast opportunities wall no 
doubt be great, on account of the stupendous tonnage 
which can be produced on the rich lands tributary to it. 
The San Antonio territory is the section where the quick- 
est and biggest results following Harbor developments 
at Port Aransas will be shown — that is clear. People 
who can look ahead should by all means look into the 
San Antonio proposition and that now is the time to do 
so is very evident. 




In Brackenridge Park. 



The far-sighted man can see that the next focus of great development is here and that history is bound to repeat itself 
at San Antonio. For the many reasons look carefully over the pages of this publication and write to the HIGHER PUB- 
LICITY LEAGUE OF TEXAS for more facts before you accept the invitation to become a citizen of San Antonio, THE 
CITY OF DESTINY AND OF YOUR DESTINATION.

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL 



The day was, and not so many years since, when San An- 
tonio was a frontier city, the half-way house between the 
effete East and the cow boy and sombrero-covered hidalgo 
of Mexico. Today it is one of the prosperous and constantly 
"■rowing cities of the Southwest, the center of a great trade, 
ind a distributing point of splendid dimensions. 

Over two hundred industrial plants have established a 
most respectable pay roll. Up-to-date business houses show 



retail products equally up-to-date, comparing favorably with 
the shops of the biggest cities of the country. 

The jobbing or wholesale houses are equally alert and pro- 
gressive in their various lines, they being thoroughly repre- 
sentative and operating in a territory as large as the State 
of Ohio. 

THE WHOLESALE TRADE OF THE CITY IS VAL- 
UED AT $100,000,000 ANNUALLY.

Tabloid History of San Antonio 

San Antonio was first settled in 1689 by the Spaniards, undei- a charter issued by Ferdinand III of Spain, which named 
Ihe town San Fernando. In those early days it was the frontier post of civilization and the struggle between the two civ- 
ilizations cljbed and flowed with the white man i)nsliing the savage back farther and fai-ther into the wilderness. In 1776 
the Fi-ench, under St. Denis and Laharpe, attacked the city, but were defeated by the Spaniards. Early in the nineteenth 
century Americans in gi'eat numbei-s came to Texas aiul intc San Antonio, which was even then known as a great health 
resort, in tlie fullness of time rebellion against Mexican rule grew into armed revolt, and the Americans assumed jjowei- 
in San Antonio after th( battle of Conception, in which the> were victorious, October 28, 1835. When the Texans mai'ched 
out to defend other parts of Texas the Mexicans once more gained control of the city, but in the battle of December 5, 1835, 
in which Ben Milam was killed, San Antonio was taken by the Texans. Then followed the defense of the Alamo, which 
ratdss witii tlie defense of Marathon and the charge of the Liglit Brigade at Balaklava. 

This heroic sacrifice was not in vain. When the news of it spread through Texas, men rushed to arms to avenge the 
death of theii- countrymen. How General Santa Anna marched from San Antonio to the battlefield of San Jacinto, where 
on April 21, 1836, he was utterly overwhelmed by General Sam Houston and the Texans, is a matter of general history. 
Thus San Antonio became the cradle of Texas Liberty, and the sacred Alamo the shrine of heioism that will be levei'ed 
as long as patriotism and courage aiul manliood have any worth in the world. 

In view of her many attractions, is it any wonder that Americans, quick to see and to seize opportunities, are pouring 
into San Antonio, with capital, energy, enthusiasm and skill? The nuignificent developments of the past few yeais, and 
the wondeiful increase of tourists into San Antonio since the construction of hei' palatial Hotels, have earned for her the 
name, "Old-New Pearl of the Continent." 

San Antonio has witnessed the winds flaunt the flags of six governments to the heavens — the insignia of Spain, the 
Lily of France, the Serpent of Mexico, the Star of Texas, the bars of tiu' Confederacy, and the Stars and stripes of a uinted 
country. History, tradition, love and venei-ation, have each contributed to the develoinuent of San Antonio, which today, 
\vhile no less inspiretl by a wonderful recoi'd, throws open its dooi'S and invites the world to lift the latch string aiul par- 
take of its alwavs fenerous hospitalitv ami welcome. E. A. LUCK, Directorv of Publicitv,

will receive maximum benefits from minimum outlay — also your town and State. 

Higher Publicity is a strictly business proposition. Treat it so. In no other business in the world will "KNOWING 
HOW" play so important a part between progress and stagnation — profit and loss. 

Advertising propositions are as plentiful as the sands of the sea. Resultful ones for the advertiser are as scarce as the 
Pearls it contains. By putting this new system of Co-operative Publicity in operation throughout the United States, the 
HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE OP TEXAS is performing an economic service for every citizen in San Antonio and 
deserves the earnest attention and enthusiastic co-operation of all individuals, corporations and civic Leagues who are 
interested in the welfare of their town. 

Do you wish to become a "LIVE WIRE" and aid in obtaining publicity of the right kind for your city that counts 
and derive maximum personal prosperity from minimum individual efforts or financial outlay? Then be quick in your 
support of the HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE'S work and quick will be your reward. 

Please remember that the HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE OF TEXAS has some real publicity experts on its staff who 
are permanently located among you and who are devoting their entire time and energies to the work for your benefit and 
for the commonwealth. They operate in conjunction with travel bureaus, steamship lines, the press and proven periodicals. 

The name of their publication is "GREATER SAN ANTONIO, THE CITY OP DESTINY AND OP YOUR DESTINA- 
TION," and the facts this Higher Publicity book presents about San Antonio are to encourage men to investigate the 
opportunities and to lend their brains and money to the development of the great natural wealth in which the San Antonio 
territory abounds. 

The profits to the individual will be the increased business growing out of the permanent prosperity of the City 
and State. The success of many sections of Texas now depends upon the greater development o^ their natural resources 
and to bring these more into the public eye in the right way by scientific and judicious publicity is the first considera- 
tion of the HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE OP TEXAS. The path to co-operation has been made easy and plain by 
scientific publicity experts, who are conducting the "GREATER SAN ANTONIO" propaganda. 

HIGHER PUBLICITY is the real yeast in the bread of improvement and a never failing factor for good results. It is 
absolutely infallible. In proof we can refer you to some brilliant examples of the exact and effective working of the 
system. Help do something to bring our City more into the public eye in the right way. This is the crucial moment for 

San Antonio, hnt ni«k'' the start today. 

Uur pubiicauon, '•GREATER SAN ANTONIO, THE CITY OF DESTINY AND OP YOUR DESTINATION," together 
with our co-operative Publicity Ry^tom and Service, is the greatest medium of publicity our people ever had tho oppor- 
tunity to support.
